Tile Removal Services

Dust-controlled tile and adhesive removal that leaves a clean, level, coating-ready slab underneath.

Professional tile removal across Melbourne

Tile removal is the first step before epoxy flooring, resurfacing or protective coatings — leftover tile and adhesive layers stop a coating from ever bonding properly. We remove old tiles safely and efficiently while protecting the slab underneath.

Using specialised equipment and controlled removal techniques, we break, lift and clear tiles with precision. That reduces impact on the slab, manages dust and speeds up preparation. Afterwards we deal with the adhesive residue and uneven patches too, so the floor is genuinely ready for the next stage. Ceramic, porcelain or stone, small area or large, the approach is the same.

How much does epoxy flooring cost in Melbourne?

Epoxy flooring in Melbourne typically ranges from $55–$85 per square metre for a standard system, with flake systems from $65–$85/m² and metallic finishes from $100–$150/m². Large commercial areas over 500m² attract volume pricing from $30/m². The final figure depends on floor size, concrete condition and the preparation required — which is why every quote follows a free on-site inspection.

How long does epoxy flooring last?

A professionally installed epoxy floor lasts 10–20 years depending on traffic, maintenance and the system installed. The single biggest factor is surface preparation: a floor that was properly diamond-ground will outlast an acid-etched or unprepared one many times over.

How much does metallic epoxy flooring cost in Melbourne?

Metallic epoxy generally costs between $100–$150 per square metre depending on floor preparation, design complexity and floor size.

What is the price of commercial epoxy flooring?

Commercial epoxy flooring usually ranges between $55–$85 per square metre depending on preparation work and coating type. Larger floor areas attract lower per-square-metre rates.
